Going on 5 months!?

Well I thought I would check our blog because it'sbeen a while and I wanted to see what Andrew blogged about last night and I realized Andy has posted the last two posts so it is my turn. Yes, my husband enjoys blogging. I know, I'm lucky.

It's weird to think and I can hardly believe it but in only 6 days Andy an dI will have been married for 5 months. It's gone by so fast but I guess that's what happens when you're having fun and I must say we're having a blast. We're staying busy with work and school but we always find time for fun. Andy won a game at work called "toss up". We've been playing it almost every night, it's quite entertaining. We've also played office trivia a few times. The first time we played we were with Tony, Amy, Kevin and Whitney and I totally got dominated. Ever since then I try to pay attention to the details when I watch the office. My goal is to eventually be able to beat Kevin and Whitney but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon.

A couple months back I think I blogged about a kitten we got. His name is Elliott Jones and he is one expensive cat. At first we thought we would get a puppy but after some consideration we decided that we didn't have time for a puppy and we had other things we'd rather put our money towards. I thought that a cat would be much easier and cheaper. Andy's excuse for this was that he is allergic to cats and it would make him sick. Come to find out that was a lie Andrew told me because he doesn't like cats... except Elliott. We found Elliott at my Grandma and Grandpa's farm. He kept following Andrew and bawling until Andy picked him up. Andrew said we could keep him if he stayed outside ( at this time Andy was still sticking to his story that he was allergic). We figured the cat itself is free, we'll get it food and come toys and be set right? WRONG! This cheap cat turned into a $600 cat after vet bills and he is still on his medication and has to go back to the vet next week. Hopefully he will be all better. Anyway we've decided we have the coolest cat in the world. His personality is a mix between a human and a dog. He begs like a dog. He will sit in front of the fridge and bawl when he wants milk, then by the sink when he wants food and when we eat... well we have to kennel him up when we eat because his begging is so out of control. He also goes to the door when he has to go to the bathroom, just like a dog. Elliott has this little mousey toy that he loves. He carries it around the house, sleeps with it and even cleans it like it's his baby. Needless to say, he loves his mouse. He also love Andy. It's so fun to watch them play every night. you can probably guess that Andy's little secret about his allergies came out. He was only saying that because he didn't want a cat, but now that we have El he loves him.

Ever wondered what it's like to have to jump start your car everytime you want to go somewhere, including having to ask your co-workers to jump you so you can make it home? If so, ask Andrew. Yes, Little Green is finally dying. The first time it wouldn't start we thought the cabin light got left on, the second time we thought it was the headlights but the third time we knew something was wrong. We got a new battery and that helped for about a day but now we have to jump it everytime. anyone who has seen Andrew's 1960, I mean 1995 Dodge Avenger knows it's not worth putting much money into. So we've had the pleasure of car shopping :). For me it's a pleasure but not so much for Andrew. We've just been looking around for now but I think soon we'll be making a purchase.

Overall things are going great here in Nebraska. Married life is the best and I love it. I guess it's easy when you have a wonderful husband like I do.
Well I should probably go get ready. We're having dinner and playing games at my aunts tonight. We'll try not to wait so long to update the blog again. We miss and love everyone back in Utah.
